Attribution
Jaime Hovey
Publication Details
Book, Ohio State University Press, 2006

A Thousand Words argues that there is such a thing as queer modernism, and that the (mostly) literary portrait?one of the more prominent forms of experimentalism in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century writing?functions as one of its most important erotically dynamic aesthetic mechanisms, one modeled on visual portraiture?s relationships of looking between the artists, sitters, and spectators of paintings.

Coming Out Of War : Poetry, Grieving, And The Culture Of The World Wars

Attribution
Janis P. Stout
Publication Details
Book, University of Alabama Press, 2005
Links
Description
American and British poetry, music, and visual art born of World Wars I and II. While probing the work of such well known war poets as Rupert Brooke, Wilfred Owen, and Randall Jarrell, Stout also highlights the impact of the wars on lesser studied, but equally compelling, sources such as the music of Charles Ives and Cole Porter, Aaron Copland and Irving Berlin. A final chapter considers Benjamin Britten?s War Requiem as a culmination and embodiment of the anti-war tradition in 20th-century poetry and music, and speculates on the reasons why, despite their abundance and eloquence, these expressions of grief and opposition to war have effected so little change.
